A T-Shirt: What can you make?

[jontheturboguy]

I recently had to use my T-shirt to make a wound wrap and tourniquet.

It got me thinking - what all could you make out of a t-shirt when shtf?

If its complex, include instructions or pictures.

 

[Mini-14]

SHTF Paper..No instructions & especially no pics needed.

carry bag

air filter, club if shaped when wet and frozen, climbing strap if tree/pole is too big. gift

Here's two more for you:

-Head wrap to protect yourself from the sun
-Water filter to filter out large particles

You could use it to choke the sh@t out of a bad guy ...

Used the sleeves to wipe a few times while out hunting . I have filtered water through 'em before. Could be used for bandages, turn-a-kits(SP?)...strips used to tie on splints for broken limbs...
Hope the tourniquet wasn't really necessary... or are you the feller that had the ND awhile back?

1) Once you get a fire started, tear strips and make char cloth for the future.

2) Tie the head opening shut with the sleeves and use it as a bag.

3) Use it as a signal, either to attract friendlies, or distract enemies.

4) Tear it in strips, dip in alcohol or pitch, and make a torch.

5) Molotov cocktail anyone?

6) Use strips to mark your trail to keep from getting lost.

Whats an ND?

Yes the tourniquet was 100% necessary. The person that was involved almost lost her leg on Mothers day. I still see "it" every morning I wake up.

Joy.

Getting rid of intestinal parasites.Tooth paste when combined with lime(the tobacco).Tobacco itself is an antiseptic when applied to a wound.Even in modern medicine it is mixed with lanolin to combat any number of fungal infections including ring worm.

ND=negligent discharge. Fella shot himself in the leg with a 45. Glad that wasn't you. Trauma sucks.
